Overview
Why do we need interprofessional education and collaborative practice?
- Inconsistent patient and health consumer journeys and outcomes
- A global health workforce crisis emphasised by retention issues and burnout
- A fragmented, inequitable and inefficient health care system
- Shifting regulation requiring collaborative practice ready graduates and health care workers
And an indisputable evidence base that interprofessional education and collaborative practice makes a difference.
